There's a sense of hope on the horizon for people on the frontlines of San Diego County's opioid epidemic now that the numbers appear to be dropping. Some of that credit is given to getting Narcan in the hands of more people.

A Narcan vending machine is located at the McAlister Institute in Chula Vista. It's one of at least 16 across San Diego County. These machines are just one of many ways the county and its partners have been working to get the opioid overdose reversal medicine into as many people's hands as possible.

"It's one thing to know that there is a magical and lifesaving drug out there, and it's a different thing to actually be able to access it," said Marisa Varond, CEO of McAlister Institute, a facility that provides a full continuum of services for people with addictions.

Learn more about the impact of the fentanyl crisis on local communities in NBC 7's in-depth project "Poison Pill: San Diego's Battle With the Fentanyl Crisis." Watch here.

Addiction experts credit access to Narcan for causing a drop in overdose deaths, along with other harm reduction strategies, such as making fentanyl testing strips more widely available and education campaigns, like the billboard that went up in Lakeside.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, deaths from opioid overdoses fell a little more than 10% from April of 2023 to 2024.

In San Diego, overdose deaths dropped about 7.5% between 2022 to 2023 - from 1,300 to 1,200 - according to data from the San Diego County Substance Use and Overdose Prevention Task Force Annual Report Card.

"Overdose deaths are preventable. The hope is that we get to a place where we are celebrating because there are zero. I think for now, our call to action is to continue to raise awareness and to make sure that treatment is readily available when folks are ready," Varond said.

Tara Stamos-Buseig is effusive in her praise of Narcan's role. It's why the Harm Reduction Coalition CEO has also been instrumental in getting more than a dozen Narcan vending machines installed across the county.

But there's another trend fueled by fentanyl-related deaths that's caught her attention.

"People are also changing the way they use drugs," Stamos-Buseig said.

She says that change includes users looking out for each other, ready to administer Narcan, in addition to being more measured in their drug use.

"We have individuals who are measuring their dose. So maybe they buy a certain amount, and they know that this much is how much I overdosed on last time, so let me decrease the amount that I'm going to use today," she explained.

A change in behavior and a game-changing medicine are among the harm reduction strategies yielding lifesaving results.

This page provides information for cities and counties regarding California's Opioid Settlements and Bankruptcies.

California has joined national lawsuits against manufacturers, distributors, and other entities responsible for aiding the opioid epidemic and anticipates receiving funds from several opioid judgments. This page provides information for cities and counties regarding California's Opioid Settlements and Bankruptcies.​​

Monies from opioid settlements and bankruptcies are provided to states, cities, and counties through different Fund Accounts pursuant to the relevant National Opioid Settlement Agreements and National Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy Plan. California has named the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) as the oversight and monitoring entity for funds received through these agreements.​

Pursuant​ to Government Code, Title 2, Division 3, Part 2, Chapter 6, Article 2, Section 12534,​ the Opioid Settlements Fund (OSF) was created in the State Treasury. Funds from opioid settlements allocated to the state for opioid remediation shall be deposited into the OSF. Use of funds within the OSF are determined and appropriated by the California legislature and subject to normal state budgetary processes. Statewide activities funded by the OSF are limited to opioid remediation activities per the National Opioid Settlement Agreements.

For more information about California's statewide activities, visit the State Projects Page on the DHCS Opioid Response website. ​

​​​California Abatement Accounts Fund

The California (CA) Abatement Accounts Fund was established to provide funds to cities and counties for the abatement of the opioid crisis in California. Participating cities and counties (otherwise known as Participating Subdivisions) receive funds from this account annually, as determined by the relative National Opioid Settlement Agreements. Payment periods vary by settlement and can last up to eighteen (18) years.

DHCS' oversight of the CA Abatement Accounts Fund includes, but is not limited to, conducting related stakeholder engagement, monitoring the Participating Subdivisions for compliance, and preparing annual reports. Payments from the CA Abatement Accounts Fund are made directly to Participating Subdivisions from the National Administrator, BrownGreer PLC, not DHCS.

California Subdivision Fund

The California (CA) Subdivision Fund was established to provide funds to cities and counties that were among the first to bring lawsuits and litigation against national opioid defendants (otherwise known a​s Plaintiff Subdivisions). Plaintiff Subdivisions receive annual disbursements from the CA Subdivision Fund as specified in the National Opioid Settlements Agreements. Payment periods vary by settlement and can last up to eighteen (18) years.

DHCS' oversight of the CA Subdivision Fund includes monitoring the Plaintiff Subdivisions for compliance with annual reporting requirements for the report prepared by DHCS. Payments from the CA Subdivision Fund are made directly to Participating Subdivisions from the National Administrator, BrownGreer PLC, not DHCS.

NOTE: Plaintiff Subdivisions are included in references regarding "Participating Subdivisions" throughout the DHCS Opioid Settlements website.

​California Bankruptcy Funds

​​NOAT II (California State Share)

Pursuant to the California Mallinckrodt Statewide Abatement Agreement, monies from the National Opioid Abetment Trust II (NOAT II) allocated to the State must be used on opioid remediation activities as listed in Exhibit 4 of the Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy Plan (otherwise known as Exhibit E in the National Opioid Settlement Agreements). The use of funds allocated from NOAT II are determined and appropriated by the California legislature and subject to normal state budgetary processes.

For more information about California's statewide activities, visit the State Projects webpage ​ on the DHCS Opioid Response website.

​NOAT II (Local Government Share)

California elected to distribute the majority of NOAT II funds to cities and counties for opioid remediation activities at the local level. Cities and counties (otherwise known as Local Governments) will receive funding from the trust annually for up to eight (8) years as determined by the California Mallinckrodt Statewide Abatement Agreement.​

DHCS' oversight of Local Governments' use of the NOAT II funds includes, but is not limited to, conducting related stakeholder engagement, monitoring the Local Governments for compliance, and preparing annual reports. Payments to Local Governments are paid directly from NOAT II, not DHCS.
